Default LW 5 won't run on OS X Tiger

So I just installed LW 5 on a PPC-based Mac running Tiger. I get a message saying "Could not launch the application [LW] because it requires a version of Java that is not installed."

So I'm screwed. There's no way to run LW 5 on this Mac. How do I get back to the old LW? Why is there no warning to the 2 million or so PPC users that they're about to nuke their LW capability?

Geez.
